I graduated from St Gerards Secondary Catholic school June 1955 when I was 15. It had formerly been called St. Mary's until about 1954 and was coed until the name changed. The headmaster at that time was Mr Mohegan. I then started work as an apprentice for Waygood Otis company. At 17 I left England with my family to start a new life in America in 1956. I found out that I had received a solid education from St. Gerards (formerly St. Mary's). I joined the United States Navy at 18 even though I was not yet a citizen. On my last visit to London I was disappointed when I could not locate my old school across from Clapham common. I'm used to buildings being torn down, but not England.I also was surprised that the bus conductor didn't know that a German V2 rocket had landed (during WW2) on Streatham High Street as we passed the site. I had witnessed the bodies after the explosion around 1944. I was born on June 1939 when the war started and these events were a big deal to me. Michael McNamee www.mmcnamee@knology.net
